EARLY SETTLEMENT 

First Settlers, Indians— First White Visitors— First White 
Settlers— Qrowth of Settlement. 

Prior to the arrival of the Whites, the region about 
Jonesport was inhabited by the Native Redmen. A mention 
of this race always quickens the interest of the reader, if he 
be a student of American History. Few and simple were 
their laws, yet more generally observed than the numerous 
enactments of civilized nations, which fill many volumes of 
statute books. 

The early settlers in Maine got along peaceably, at first, 
with the Hedmen; but, later, hostilities occurred. For this 
the Whites were partly to blame, for the Indian was often 
deceived and cheated out of his rights, by his better civilized 
neighbor. The knowledge that their hunting grounds would 
soon be overrun by the Whites, the influence of the French, 
who were hostile to the English, and the encouragement of 
their rebellious Chieftains, were additional causes for this 
race to enter into a controversy. We know that the Indian 



6 HISTORICAL. 

fought, according to the methods of his own race, for his 
home and existence. We are aware that he inflicted punish- 
ment upon his intruders, which he thought was justly due. 
With these thoughts in mind, we cannot blame these people 
for their part in the, so called, Indian Wars; but must 
sympathize with them, the weaker race, knowing that it was 
for the interest of civilization that they should succumb to 
the stronger power. 

The race about Jonesport was, in all probability, a part 
of the Passamaqnoddy Tribe. As far as we know, their acts 
were ever friendly towards their white neighbors ; yet it 
seems that the early settlers always stood in fear of them, 
and ever granted their petty requests. Several stories and 
traditional names, which have come down to the present 
generation, ever remind us of these people. 

The story of the attack on a trading sloop in Head Har- 
bor Island, is one of interest. It seems that a small vessel 
came to this island just at nightfall and cast anchor. The 
crew, among whom was that early settler, Manwarren Beal, 
went ashore and were attacked by a party of Indians. One 
of their number was killed, and the rest of the party retreat- 
ed to the vessel. During the night, for the small sloop was 
forced to remain at anchor because of stormy weather, Mr. 
Beal and the men who were on watch heard a noise at the 
stern of the vessel. Mr Beal immediately picked up a fish 
gaff and glided noiselessly to that place. To his astonish- 
ment he observed an Indian trying to destroy the rudder. 
Without a moments hesitation, Mr. Beal learned over and 
hooked the fish gaff into the Indian's jaw, and began pulling 



HISTORICAL. f 

him aboard as he would a large fish. The iDdiao, as soon 
as he could brace his feet against the side of the vessel, took 
hold of the gaff and unloosed it from his jaw, and fell back 
into the water and escaped. It seems that the Indians were 
planning to impair the steering geer, and then set the 
craft afloat. 

Hardwood Island is said to have been the scene of an 
encounter, in which the whole crew of a trading sloop was 
massacred by the Red men. The skeletons of these men were 
found by early settlers in this town. This incident and the 
one above occurred presumably before the town was settled. 
The sloops, mentioned, were from outside towns. 

Within the rememberance of some of this town's aged 
citizens, numerous bands of Indians were prying along our 
shores. Loon Point, Cross Cove, and many other places 
were their frequent camping grounds. Cross Cove was so 
named because of a cross erected there by the Indians. The 
Reach, then spelled Mooseckey, now Moosabec, is an Indian 
name given by this race. Perio Point on Real's Island, re- 
ceived its name from a noted Indian, known as Perio Check- 
ers. On this point is a steep cliff and Perio was, says tra- 
dition, the only one of his race who could run up its almost 
perpendicular sides. In various places, arrow heads, stone 
ovens, and other reminders of this people have been found. 

Thus we have a vague description of these first wander- 
ing settlers in this town. We must admire this rough-ex- 
terior people, when we think of their endurance, courage, 
and manly spirit. May the Indian name ol the Reach ever 
remind us of these children of the forest 1 



8 HISTOEICAL. 

The first white person to set foot on Jonesport soil was, 
in all probability, an early voyager along our coast. Who 
this person was, and the date of his arrival, we do not know. 
Prior to 1750, fishermen and other small crafts were con- 
tinually fprying along our shores. This does not give us 
any definite answer to this question, yet it is such as to con- 
vince us, that this region about Jonesport was visited by 
the Whites at a very early period. 

The date of the first permanent settlement by the Whites 
in Jonesport is uncertain. Settlements of short duration 
were made at Calais, in 1604; Machias, 1644; and East- 
port, in 1672 : but no permanent settlement was at Calais, 
prior to 1763; Machias, 1764; and Eastport, 1780. Jones- 
port could not have had a permanent settlement previous 
to the above towns. 

The first, or one of the first to settle in the town of 
Jonesport, was Francis Cummings. He, in 1772, moved 
from Damariscotta, Maine, and settled on Roque Island. 
With him was his wife, Mercy Kelley, her father, Aaron 
Kelley, and his own daughter, Annie. Here they erected a 
log cabin and passed the winter. In the spring all of the 
family, except Mr. Kelley who had died during the winter 
and was buried on the island, moved to Machias. At this 
place they remained two years, when, in the spring of 1775, 
Mr. Cummings came to the Reach in Jonesport and settled 
on the land now owned by his grandson, Charles H. Cum- 
mings; who has in his possession two deeds made out to 
his grandfather by the proprietor of this land, John C. 
Jones. The dates of the transactions are 1792 and 1794. When 



HISTORICAL. 9 

Mr. Cummings arrived in his town, he found here two set- 
tlers, Thomas Kelley, and Manwarren Beal. The former, 
the first permanent settler on the mainland ; and the latter, 
holding this same distinction on Beal's Island. Which of 
these two settled here first, we do not know. 

Thomas Kelley, son of Aaron Kelley who died on Roque 
Island, came with his wife to this town from Damariscotta, 
Maine. He settled near the homes of his grandchildren, 
Frank and Albert Kelley, in that section of the Reach, known 
as Kelley Point. The date of his arrival may be placed at 
approximately 1 773. To this couple were born five children: 
three sons, Joseph, Thomas, David; two daughters, Betsey, 
who married Asa Beal, Abigail, who was united with 
Nathaniel Kelley. Mr. Kelley's son, Joseph, the first male 
child born in this region ; afterwards, married Olive Beal, 
daughter to Manwarren Beal, and the first female child born 
on the Island. 

Manwarren Beal, with his wife, Lydia Welch, and child- 
ren, came to this town from Old York, (Maine) and settled 
on Beal's Island, on the location known as Barney's Point. 
Mr. Beal was a man of strong character and large physique. 
He is said to have sent away and had a chair made for his 
especial use. An old desk of his, probably one hundred and 
fifty years old, and verses of his composition are now in the 
possession of Miss Emma A. Hinkley. To this illustrious 
couple were born many children, whose descendents are 
among the foremost enterprising citizens of the town. 

Another early settler in this region was John Sawyer, 
grandfather of two of the town's most enterprising and 



10 HISTORICAL. 

respected citizens, Daniel J. and Edward Sawyer. Mr, Saw- 
yer and his wife, Mary Jordan, came to this town from 
Limington, Maine, and erected a homestead near the 
present site of Edward Sawyer's residence. To this couple 
were born nine children; three boys, and six girls. Mr. 
Sawyer's native place was Limington, Maine, and his wife 
was from Cape Elizabeth. 

Thomas Cromwell, an early settler, emigrated to this 
town with his wife and settled on Loon Point. Their previ- 
ous residence was at Salem, Massachusetts; and Mr. Crom- 
well claimed a relationship with that most noted Englit^h- 
man, Eichard Cromwell. In recent years, Colonel Oliver 
Peabody of Boston secured this point of land ; and there 
erected a beautiful summer home. This cottage has since 
been destroyed by fire. Mr. Peabody also placed a fitting 
tombstone, over the burial place of this early family. 

Elihu Norton was an early settler in town. He moved 
here from Addison, Maine, where his father, Seth Norton, 
had first settled. The date of his arrival was previous to 
1790; for at that date he had a settled homestead in West 
Jonesport a little to the westward of the present site of 
Augustus Hopkins' residence. Mr. Hopkins has in his 
possession several choice articles which were the property of 
this old settler. Elihu Norton is said to have been very 
friendly with the Indians, and was a noted moose hunter. 
He had several moose snares, at a creek on the Indian River 
road now known as Snare Creek. 

John BuflBtt was the first settler in town to receive a 
grant of land from the proprietor of this section, John C. 



HISTORICAL. 11 

Jones. His lot and residence was at West Jonesport, where 
he arrived prior to 1792 ; for that early settler, Francis 
Cummin^s, had his ^rant made out at that date, and, in 
this document, mention is made of Mr. Buffitt's land lying 
to the westward. This early settler was of a roving dispo- 
sition, not much is known about him. 

On that point ot land known as Old House Point near 
the present site of Charles Mansfield's fish plant at the lower 
village, there once lived an old settler, Thomas Hicks. 
Some claim he also had a residence on Beal's Island, near a 
cove, known as Hicks' Cove. Many interesting stories are 
told of his wife, who, it is said, had a supernatural power; 
and was termed by the settlers, a witch. Nothing definite 
is known about this family. They were here, no doubt, at a 
very early date. 

That body of water within the limits of the town known 
as Mason's Bay, seems to have received it's name from an 
early settler, who lived on Mason's or Ballast Island. 
French House Island is said to have been settled at a very 
early date by a Frenchman. Some say that these two sites 
were the first settled places in town. So little is known of 
them, that it is impossible to give any further explanation 
on the matter. 

The land through this section was granted to John C. 
Jones and others by the Massachusetts Commonwealth, 
Jan. 1, 1789. Mr. Jones is said to have received this gift in 
payment for a sloop of his, which was lost in the siege of the 
British at Castine. If so, he was well paid; for the grant 
comprised the districts of Bucks Harbor and Little River 



12 HISTORICAL. 

(The former now the property of Machiasport, the latter of 
Machias) Jonesboro, Jonesport, and Roque Bluffs, a total 
of 48,160 acres. This great tract of land, plantation num- 
ber twenty -two, was incoporated as a township, March 4, 
1809, and was the one hundred and seventy-sixth town in 
the Province of Maine to be chartered. Jonesport was set 
off about twenty-three years later, or February 3rd, 1832; 
and Roque Bluffs or "Englishman's River" as it was called, 
was set off March 12, 1891. Over this tract of land, Mr. 
Jones, who was the principal proprietor, appointed as sub- 
agents: Gustvuas Fellows, John Holway, and Stephen 
Jones. These men sold land titles to the pioneers, and 
many deeds now in existence bear their signatures. 

It is an acknowledged fact, that as soon as one member 
of a family settled in town, his near kindred were v\ont to 
follow. This is true of the Beals, Cummings, Sawyers and 
Nortons, and accounts for the large number of families now 
in town bearing these honored names. The following 
are Sarnam»^s of early settlers in town, not heretofore given. 
Of these, more mention will be made later: — Dunham, Dob- 
bins, Wallace, Alley, MacDonald, Dickey, Oliver, Hinkley, 
Smith, Donovan, Hopkins, Farnsworth, Lamson, Rogers, 
Hutchinson, Church, Drisko, McKenzie. 

The town increased in numbers very slowly, at first. 
The sparsely settled regions, in this section of Washington 
County, were not very attractive to the early home seekers. 
Not until more recent years has the town given promise of 
great industrial prosperit3^ At an early date the business 
section of the town was at Indian River. At that place was 



mSTOEICAL. 13 

a large saw mill, ship yard, and the people of this section 
were obliged to go there for their mail. At that date, 1850, 
very few would have predicted that the present village of 
Jonesport, would, in the future, be the larger settlement. 
The rapid strides that the town has made is worthy of at- 
tentioD. In 1840, eight years after the town's incoporation, 
we have the following settlers here. 

On Deal's Island were: — Asa Beal, Ami Beal, Thomas 
Beal, William Dobbins, Thomas Wallace, Asa Beal and 
Edward Beal. The residences of Ami Beal, Thomas Beal, and 
William Dobbins are still standing and occupied by families. 

On Great Wass Island, at Alley's Bay, there was one 
Sf^ttler, John Alley. 

On the "Reach" road there lived : Elihu Norton, Phineas 
Norton, Abraham Norton, Andrew McDonald, Darius 
Dickey, Freeman Beal, Jerenaah B Norton, Samuel Cum- 
miiigs, Frank Cummings, Evans Sawyer, John Sawyer, Dan- 
iel Sawyer, Thomas Oliver, Nehetniah Sawyer, Thomas 
Kelle\, David Kelley, Joseph Kelley and Ef)braim Kelley. 
Of their homesteads the ones occupied by Abraham Norton, 
Phineas Norton, Darius Dickey and Ephriam Kelley, are 
still standing. Phineas Norton's residence is, without doubt, 
the oldest house now standing in town. 

Elias Hinkley, Demick Cummings, Nathaniel Church, 
William Smith, Jerry Drisko, Zimri Drisko, Edmund Drisko, 
and Ellis McKenzie, were then living on the Indian River 
road. 

On the Jonesboro, or Mason's Bay road, were Samuel 
N. Kelley, James Smith, Levi Smith, Jeremiah Donovan, 



14 HISTOEICAL. 

Henry Farns worth, Isaac Farns worth, David Farns worth, 
Enoch Farns worth, Prince Rogers, Daniel Rogers, Zelias 
Smith, Frank Smith, Otis Smith, John Hutchinson, and 
John White. 

These names give one an idea of the number of inhabi- 
tants in town at the date mentioned; as the list contains the 
heads of all the families here. 

The many needed institutions, such as churches, school 
houses, mercantile stores, and highways, came even slower 
than the people. It is interesting to note their slow but 
gradual advancement. 

The early accommodations for travel that were present 
lor the people at this date, were not very enticing. The 
highways were but trodden paths, although a pretense had 
been made to construct passable roads. These were only 
safe in the winter, when the swamps were frozen. To journey 
to other parts of the state from the town was a seemingly 
ponderous task. The journey must be made practically all 
the distance on foot. The first steamboat. The Rockland, 
did not come here till 1853, and the railroad, at a much 
more recent date. Horses were few in number, in fact, it 
was a rare treat to see one of these fleet footed quadrupeds. 
The first horse to pass through the town was the one owned 
by Ephriam Hinkley, the tax collector from Jonesboro Vil- 
lage. The first person in town to own a horse was Abraham 
Norton. Soon Darius Dickey, Edward Mansfield and Elias 
Hinkley, each possessed one of these domestic animals, 
probably in the above order. The early traveler found 
lodging in some private family. The first public tavern in 



fflSTOEICAL. 15 

town was kept in the present Moosabec House, by its owner 
and builder, Edward A. Mansfield. The second hotel was 
built in 1860, by William Rumery, and stood nearly oppo- 
site the Bay View House, at West Jonesport. This building 
was destroyed by fire in 1872. The present Bay View Hotel 
was erected in 1879, by E. L. Plummer of Addison. 

The first persons to keep a mercantile store in town were, 
Clement Hopkins and Elias Hinkley. Mr. Hopkins came to 
this town in 1826; and, not long after, he and Mr. Hinkley 
erected a building near the present steamboat wharf, and 
then went into trade. In 1858 these same two persons built 
the present steamboat landing. When these two men dis- 
solved partnership, after carrying on the store business for 
a few years, then Mr. Hopkins went into trade for himself at 
Hopkins Point. This same store building is now standing 
and used by Augustus Hopkins as a storehouse. This busi- 
ness of Mr. Hopkins was carried on at this place as early as 
1840. Deacon Thomas Lamson was also an early merchant 
in the same building. Darius Dickey was another early 
trader at West Jonesport, and his store was in the base- 
ment of the house now owned by William P. J. Cummings, 
and occupied by himself and Augustus Dobbins. This place 
is known as the Dickey Homestead. Mr. Diokey came here 
from Bucksport, Maine, one fall, in a vessel loaded with pro- 
visions. These goods he sold out to the people while 
stationed at Cross Cove. The next year he established him- 
self in the above store. Edward A. Mansfield and Joshua 
Walker were early merchants at the Lower Village. Mr. 
Mansfield was in trade as early as 1845, and the building 



16 HISTORICAL. 

which he occupied is now near its former site, in the vicinity 
of the present store of W. F. Mansfield and B. B. Mansfield, 
and is used as a store and ice house. Mr. Walker's place of 
business stood near the present store of D. J. Sawyer. He 
was in trade about the same time as Mr. Mansfield. He 
afterwards let his buildini? to two men, Edgerton and Page, 
of Danvers, Massachusetts, who occupied the same for a 
couple of years. In 1848, the town's present estimable 
and enterprising citizen, D. J. Sawyer, secured Mr. Walker's 
old store and began the business which he has carried on so 
successfully. 

At an early date the nearest Post Ofiice was at Colum- 
bia Falls, a distance of twelve miles. From here the mail, 
which came once a week from Bangor, was taken and left for 
the people at a common place. The mail at West Jones- 
port was often left at Darius Dickey's store, and that at the 
Lower Village, at E. A. Mansfield's building. Probably not 
much mail was sent, for no newspapers came here, and the 
exorbitant postage rates on letters prevented any once-a- 
week correspondence. A little later a Post Office was estab- 
lished at Indian River. The first Postmaster in town was 
Edward A. Mansfield, and his office was in his store. A little 
later Charles F. Barker occupied this same position, and his 
office was in this same building. Mr. Barker was followed in 
order by E. M. Sawyer, Mrs. E. R. Peasley, B. F. Carver, 
and D. D. Kelley. At West Jonesport J. B. Clark was the 
first to hold this governmental position. His office was in 
the house now occupied by Judson Carver. Mr. S. B. Cum- 
mings, the present postmaster, followed Mr. Clark. Mr. 



HISTORICAL. 17 

Cummmg;s first occupied his residence for its use, until the 
ofiice was moved to its present location. The first office on 
Beal's Island was officiated over by its present postmaster, 
J. A. Beal. 

The nearest physician, prior to 1869, was Dr. Alpheus 
Chandler, of Columbia Falls, and his son, Charles, at Addi- 
son Point. The first settled physician in town is the town's 
present successful practioner, Dr. Ed^ar MacNichol, who 
be^an his work here at the above date. Those who have 
followed are: Dr. Leeman, Dr. Walling, Dr. Smith, Dr. Illes, 
Dr. Adams and Dr. Kendall. 

With these, what we, of today, term adverse conditions, 
the early settlers were contented and happy. The secret of 
it all was, that they made the most of their meager privil- 
eges. Hardly an evening passed when a family did not 
either receive company or visit their neighbor. A little of 
this old fashioned freedom would not harm the present gen- 
eration. Many stories are told of the feats of endurance of 
these men and women of seemingly iron constitutions, until 
we are forced to believe that the world is growing weaker 
and wiser. 

From 1850 to the present time, the following statistics 
give one an idea of the rapid stride that the town has made 
in population and wealth. 

In 1850 the town's population numbered 826; in 1860, 
1148; in 1870, 1305; iu 1880, ]563; in 1890, 1917; in 1900, 
2124; in 1905, (est) 2500. In 1860 the total estate valua- 
tion was |105,753; in 1870, $156,388; in 1880, 1192,984' 
in 1890, 1342,318; in 1900, |448,872; in 1905, |461,807. 

J2 



18 HISTORICAL. 

Thus the town has increased in numbers, from 826 in 1850, 
to 2,500 in 1905; and in valuation of property, from $105,- 
753 in 1860, to |461 ,807 in 1905. 

The future of Washington County, with her bountiful 
natural resources, never looked more promising than today. 
The attention of capitalists and manufacturers through- 
out the county is being turned toward the fuller develop- 
ment of her home products and resources. Jonesport, well 
situated on the eeacoast, cannot fail in the future to receive 
with her neighboring towns, her full share of this attention 
and its inevitable influence for development and prosperity. 



INCORPORATION 



Jonesport, previous to its incorporation, was a part of 
the town of Jonesboro, which was granted a charter Janu- 
ary 1, 1789. Previous to this, it was known as Plantation 
Number twenty-two. The present town of Jonesport was 
incorporated as a town by Act of the Legislature, February 
3, 1832. 

The three potent reasons that brought about this separ- 
ation were: 1st, the increase in population and wealth in the 
southern section of the town; 2nd, the distance that separ- 
ated them from Jonesboro Village; and 3d, probably, a 
small feeling of jealousy between the two sections. The town 
meetings were held at Jonesboro Village, a distance of twelve 



HISTOEICAL. 19 

miles, which made it difficult for those living- on the ''Reach" 
to attend, especially when the mud was deep. With a 
majority of voters from their section of the town, the Jones- 
boro faction had a tendency to elect the "larger half" of 
town officers from their part of the town. It is said, that at 
one annual town meeting, a rainy day, with the mud knee 
deep, the "Reach" section of voters marched to the meeting 
in full force, and elected most of the town officials from their 
part of the town, siace the Jonesboro faction did not attend 
not expecting them on such a day. The idea of separation 
seemed favorable to both parties. To draw up these condi- 
tions of separation, the town chose P. Whitney from Jones- 
boro, and Clement Hopkins and Nathaniel Sawyer from the 
"Reach." In these articles, the town of Jonesport agreed to 
hold in their possession all the islands. Roque Island was 
set off to this town that Jonesboro might be rid of John 
Shorey, one of its settlers who greatly annoyed the people in 
town meetings, as he differed from the majority in politics, 
and insisted upon giving his opinion. On several occasions, 
the town has had to fight for this island in order to keep it 
in her possession. 

At the first town meeting, which was held in the old 
school house on Indian River road, $150 was raised for 
schools, and $150 for the support of poor and other expen- 
ses. Not a large sum when we think of this same town's 
expenditures in 1904, which were $13,776.27. At this 
same meeting, John Shorey was elected town treasurer and 
Phineas Kelley collector of taxes. For many succeeding 
years, the voters met in the school house at Sawyer's Cove. 



20 HISTORICAL. 

It was often termed in the records, "Town House," because 
the town appropriated f 100 for its erection, on condition 
that they should use it for town purposes. The more recent 
town meetings have met in Mansfield's or Smith's Opera 
House. 

It is an interestinjy fact, that Darius Kelley was the first 
male child born in the town of Jonesport, and Martha A 
(Cummings) Dunham the first girl with the same honor. 
The first marriage was between Zimri Drisko and Miss Roxie 
Norton.

CHURCH HISTORY. 

The pioneers of Jonesport were a God fearing people. 
In no case were they negligent in providing for the worship 
of the Divine. They did not have costly edifices in which to 
assemble, nor fine roads in which to travel, yet they always 
found a place in which to worship, and a way to get there at 
an allotted time. Their example is worthy of our attention. 

The early meetings in town were first held in private 
dwelling houses. Here the people assembled, and one of 
their number or some travelling clergyman assumed the 
leadership of the gathering. These early ministers of the 
Gospel endured many trying hardships. Their reward in 
worldly goods was but a pittance. The present generation 
owes much to these self-sacrificing men. Later, the people 
met in the school-houses at Indian River, Sawyer's Cove and 
the Vestry at West Jonesport. The first building erected 
for church purposes, was the Union Church at the Low-er 



fflSTOEICAL. 23 

Village which was begun in 1860 and completed the follow- 
ing year. For the tirst few years, this building was occu- 
pied by the Baptist and Universalist Societies; but during 
the naore recent years, by Congregational and Latter-Day 
Saints. 

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 

The Union Congregational Church of Jonesport was or- 
ganized September 11, 1877. Previous to this, the people 
had Congregational preaching, for this was a branch of the 
same denomination at Machias. The Rev. D. S. Holbrook, 
Rev, Marshall R. Peck, Rev. Lemuel Hastings and Rev. A. 
F. Newton had labored with the people in the intervening 
years between 1873 and 1877. The meetings were held in 
the Union Church, alternately, with the Latter Day Saints, 
and ever since, until the erection in 1886 of their present 
beautiful building, which was a gift of the Hon. D. J. 
Sawyer and wife. The cost of this church was approxi- 
mately 19000. It was dedicated, June 7, 1887. 

In 1877 a noted evangelist from New York, Rev. John 
Vassar, visited Jonesport. He, and the people's pastor, 
Rev. S. Thurston, immediately began an earnest work in 
the church. The result was the organization, mentioned 
above, at which time, forty-two became members. On May 
20, of this same year, a Council was called to ordain and 
install the first pastor, Rev. G. S. Chapin. Mr. Chapin 
remained with the people until the last of March, 1881. 

During the summer of 1881, O. G. McTntire, a Theologi- 
cal student, labored with the church, and was foUow^ed in 



24 HISTORICAL. 

1882 and 1883 by transient supplies, during which time 
the Ladies' Union Congregational Parsonage Society was 
organized. 

In 1884 Rev. E. S. Walbridge was ordained pastor of 
the Society, and remained with the people for about six 
years. During his stay the present church and Parsonage 
was built. Mr. Walbridge was succeeded by the following 
clergymen in their order: Rev. C. S. Young, Rev. E. S, 
Ireland, Rev. S. L. Mitchell, Rev. Frederick Newport, and 
Rev. Thomas B. Hatt. 

At the present time this denomination is in a flourishing 
condition with a membership of 121. The Sunday School 
connected with the church is a large one, and is doing an 
earnest work. 

CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. 

It was during the year 1869, that Elder T. W, Smith, of 
New Jersey, came to Jonesport, representing the Reorgan- 
ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; but did 
not remain a sufficient peric»d to effect an organization. 
The following year. Elder Josiah Ells, of Pennsylvania vis- 
ited the people as a Missionary, and during his short stay 
baptized five people. He was succeeded, later on, by other 
missionaries, who came and labored until fourteen persons 
were converted to the faith. 

In 1873 Elder Joseph Lakeman, of Grand Meanan, New 
Brunswick, came here and organized a Branch of the 
Church. Under his ardent and zealous labors many souls 
were united with the Society. Mr. Lakeman was followed 



HISTOEICAL. 25 

by Elder B. K. Rogers who did efficient and earnest work. 
Mr. Rogers' labors with this organization ceased by his 
death in 1879, when Mr. J. S. Walker, who was Priest of the 
Branch, was chosen to preside, and was soon after or- 
dained an Elder. Mr. Walker served faithfully in this posi- 
tion until his impaired health forced him to give up the 
work. Younger men have been called to preside, namely : 
L. A. Woodward, Jonesport; C. H. Rich, Boston, and W. E. 
LaRue, Davenport, Iowa. 

Of the many missionaries who have served this church 
wewould mention the following: W. S. Kelley, Elijah Banta, 
I. M. Smith, F. M. Sheahy, U. W. Greene, T. C. Kelley, J. 
C. Foss, W. F. Gowell and Joseph Luff. 

A great auxiliary to the Church is the Sunday School 
which was organized in 1886. The School then enrolled but 
eighteen members, while at the present time the number 
reaches sixty. A hall was rented for this body, where they 
met for two years. The first Superintendent was Mrs. E. 
M. Walker, who has officiated in this capacity ever since. 

At the present time this organization gives promise of a 
very strong society. Its membership now numbers one- 
hundred and fifty, and is increasing each year. Meetings 
are held in the Union Church at the Lower Village, and in 
the vestry at West Jonesport. 

UNION CHURCH SOCIETY, WEST JONESPORT. 

Religious meetings have been held at the West Jones- 
port vestry by the Congregationalists and Latter Day 
Saints for many years. The need of a more fitting place of 



26 HISTORICAL. 

assembly was felt for a long time, but no decisive action 
was taken to secure such a building till July 21st, 1902, 
when the ladies, in that section of the village, met at the 
vestry and organized a Union Church Society. Its avowed 
object was and is the erection ot a Union Church building, 
open to all denominations. At this first meeting the total 
enrollment of members numbered seventy. In the two 
years that followed, this Society- raised a total of 1350. 

On February 5th, 1904, this society was organized, the 
men coming forward to do active work. A committee was 
appointed to select a suitable site for a church building, and 
to purchase the same. This committee secured a lot adjoin- 
ing the cemetery at West Jonesport, at a cost of $510. A 
part of this site has been used to enlarge the burial grounds, 
and the burial lots thus made are sold to the public. This 
society has raised approximately f 1,000 since its organiza- 
tion. 

The present officers are: W. L. Noyes, president; U. C. 
Norton, vice-president; Mrs. W. E. Sheafe, 2nd vice-president 
and president of Ladies' Auxiliary; Mrs. S. J. Leighton, vice- 
president of Ladies' Auxiliary; Mary A. Cummings, secre- 
tary; Alice M. Hinkley, treasurer. 

REFORMED BAPTIST CHURCH 

The Reformed Baptist Church of Real's Island is the out- 
come of the labor of Rev. C. S. Hilyard, of Jonesport, who 
began his first work there, on Sunday evening, September 9, 
1895, at which time he preached his first sermon. In the 
revival that started from his work during the following 



HISTOEICAL. 27 

months, over ninety persons were converted. 

In October, 1895, Mr. Hilyard organized this society, 
with forty-three members, which number has increased until 
seventy-six are now enrolled. This church was made possi- 
ble by the many new converts, who came forward and sought 
the new faith. 

These first religious meetings -were held in the school 
houses. In the winter of 1895, the society began prepara- 
tions to construct a suitable structure for their use. On 
October 14, the following year, the first sod was turned for 
this new building by the society's pastor. Rev. C. S. Hilyard. 
This church was soon completed, and dedicated on the 6th 
of Februar^^, 1897. The dedicatory sermon being given by 
Rev. Z. B. Grass, of Lubec. 

Rev. A. L Ruber is the present pastor of this church. 
Previous to his coming, the society received preaching from 
missionary supplies and Rev. Mr. Hilyard, its organizer, who 
has ever administered to the people's wants. This organiz- 
ation is now making preparations to erect a suitable pas- 
tor's home. A thriving Sunday school is connected with the 
church. The superintendent is Stephen Woodward. 

CHRISTIAN SECOND ADVENT CHURCH 

The Christian Second Advent Church of Real's Island was 
organized June 26, 1881, by Elder N. Smith, of Old Town, 
assisted by Elder McKenzie, of Indian River. Mr. Smith was 
the church's first pastor, and worked with them till his 
death. Elder Hinkley and others occasionally preached to 
the people. This society numbered 99 members. 



28 HISTOEICAL. 

On the 10th of September, 1897, this society was reor- 
ganized by Rev. Robert F. Emerson, of East Rochester, New 
Hampshire. At this occasion, fifty-four persons joined the 
new organizatian, and this number has now reached seventy. 

In 1903, Elder Buck, of Woodstock, New Brunswick, 
officiated as pastor of these people, and it was during his 
pastorate that a church edifice was started. This was com- 
pleted the following year, at a cost of about |1,200, and 
dedicated in the fall. Rev. Mr. Emerson gave the dedicatory 
sermon. 

The present pastor is Elder Brewster, under whose guid- 
ance the church is progressing. A large Sunday school is 
connected as an auxiliary to the church. 

CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS, BEAL's ISLAND 

The reorganized church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day 
Saints, of Beal's Island, is a part of this same branch, organ- 
ized in 1878 at Jonesport village. For the past eight years 
the missionaries on the main land visited these people and 
administered the Gospel. Elder John C. Foss was one of the 
first to preach to this denomination on the island. 

About 1898, the present fiourishing Sunday school was 
organized, and is a crdit to this church. Mr. Fred G. Beal is 
its superintendent, and Mrs. Susie A. Beal the assistant. 

The present neat and comfortable house of worship was 
begun but a short time ago, and is now nearh^ completed. 
Its cost will be approximately f 900. Furnishings of modern 
style are being installed. The dedication of the building will 
take place as soon as everything is ready. 

This church on Beal's Island numbers about forty souls 



HISTORICAL. 29 

and weekly meetino-s are carried on at all times during the 
year. The society is steadily growing and gives promise of 
a strong organization. 



MILITARY MATTERS 

The town of Jonesport is justly entitled to the high 
esteem of the State and the Nation lor her loyal support of 
the Government in militery matters. Whenever the call to 
arms has been sounded, her citizens have ever responded to 
its appeal. True and loyal has she ever stood for our 
national prestige. 

REVOLUTIONARY WAR 

In this struggle for independence, the town of Jonesport 
could not have taken a very active part, for she was too few 
in numbers, yet there were, doubtless, a few who went to the 
aid of Machias, when she was in danger of capture by the 
British. We know that town received loyal support from 
her neighbors in order to defend herself so successfully 
through this war. 

It was during these eight years of unceasiug conflict that 
the home of Manwarren Beal on Beal's Island, was robbed 
by an English privateer. The account goes, that at one 
time, when Mr. Beal was very sick in bed with a slow fever, a 



30 HISTOEICAL. 

vessel, bearing an American flag appeared off the island. 
She immediately pointed her bow towards the shore and 
came to anchor in Barney's Cove. Then the crew pulled 
down the Stars and Stripes, and flung to the breeze the 
Union Jack. The men soon came to the home of Mr. Beal 
and demanded what money there whs in the house, and were 
told by Sally, the daughter, that there was none. They 
replied, that unless it was handed over to them, they would 
blow the house to atoms. Failing in this persistent demand, 
they began to search for money, and finally, to plunder the 
house; for at this time the home was well-stocked with pro- 
visions for the winter, Mr. Beal having just returned from a 
trip for the winter's supplies. The crew of the privateer 
seized everything they could carry away, even to the clothes 
on the beds; and that which they were unable to take with 
them, they destroyed. In this manner a hogshead of molas- 
ses was broken in and its contents spilled on the floor, and 
several ol the domestic animals were killed. Having thus 
deprived the family of all means of support, the English 
plunderers left the house. The daughter, Sally, as she stood 
in the door crying, because of the destitute condition they 
were left in, and wiping her eyes with a homespun apron, was 
approached by one of the English officers, and presented 
with a new "ban danner" silk handkerchief. The English 
privateer soon departed, probably to commit a similar act 
on some other unprotected homestead. 

WAR OF 1812. 
In this second conflict with Great Britian, for national 
freedom from oppression, English war vessels were contin- 



HISTOEICAL. 31 

ually prying along the coast of Maine in pursuit of plunder. 
The region along whose shores they journeyed was the scene 
of many thrilling adventures. 

It was on March 21st, 1814, that the British privateer. 
Vim, chased an American revenue cutter, commanded by 
Captain Elliott of Machias, into the harbor of Jonesport. 
The English war vessel fired several shots at the revenue 
cutter as she came in pursuit, and Captain Elliott, in order 
to avoid all hands being captured, ran the vessel aground 
in Sawyer's Cove. The British immediately launched a 
barge and, with a small crew, proceeded to take their sup- 
posed easily captured prize, lor its crew had fled to the 
woods. In the meantime the citizens on shore, among 
whom were Freeman Beal, Jerry Norton, Andrew MacDon- 
ald, John Sawyer, Francis Cummings, Eben Sawyer, Daniel 
Sawyer, and William Dobbins, hearing the firing, came to 
the scene of action with their flint lock muskets and hid be- 
hind a ledge of rock overlooking the Cove. When the Eng- 
lish barge was within firing range, a volley was given and 
one of the oncoming party was killed, and another, a mu- 
latto, was wounded. The barge was finally forced to surren- 
der, and the wounded man was carried to the home of Nehe- 
miah Kelley. Mrs. Kelley, when she returned to her home 
that night, for she had fled to the woods for safety, was 
somewhat frightened to find them in her house. The English 
crew had destroyed several of her linen sheets in trying to 
stop the flow of blood from their wounded comrade. For 
this damage the men made due amends to Mrs. Kelley. The 
English war vessels continued to fire shots ashore, and 



32 HISTOEICAL. 

agreed to desist and leave the harbor on condition that their 
crew from the barge be released. This was cheerfully grant- 
ed and the vessel sailed away, 

WAR OF THE REBELLION. 

In this war for national unity the town of Jonesport 
played a most prominent part. Ever ready was she to raise 
money for expenditures, and to send her sons to the front. 
Her record in both is of the best. Too much praise cannot 
be given to those true and loyal men who left their homes 
and marched to the front in that bloody struggle of 1861. 

At the opening and throughout those four years of con- 
flict, rally meetings were continually held in our town. 
Whenever a call was made upon the town for men, the select- 
men held a meeting of the citizens, and there secured the 
names of those volunteering to enlist. As an inducement, 
the town paid |100, and finally, $200, to the ones thus 
secured. Volunteers and drafted men were paid a like sum, 
but it is an honorary fact that very few men were drafted. 
Approximately 100 men enlisted from this town. 

With due reverence, we herewith submit the names of 
Civil War veterans now living in the town of Jonesport: 
Robert Anderson, B. B. Bickford, W. W. Clark, Daniel Dob- 
bins, David Davis, William H. Faulkingham, Otis Faulking- 
ham, John Faulkingham, Henry Farnsworth, Aaron Kelley, 
Henry Peasley, George Peasley, Henry Smith, Fred M. 
Smith, Benjamin Smith, Isaac Worden.

EDUCATIONAL ITEMS. 

The school history of the town of Jonesport covers a 
long and interesting period. As a whole, her citizens are 
proud of the record that is handed down. The town's repre- 
sentatives who have entered various phases of work in out- 
side fields, speak well for their home training. 

In the early beginning of our town, school houses were 
not provided. Each parent was supposed to have a room 
where the teacher would come and instruct his children and 
others who met there. Usually some family, which had an 
unusually large room, offered their hospitality for this pur- 
pose. This school instruction was carried on by the "board 
around" system, when the instructor received very low 
wages, probably paid in boards and shingles, and was 
obliged to journey from one house to another for lodging. 
The length of time that he remained in a family depended 
on the number of school children in that house, and, perhaps 
to his own discomfort, the longer stay was made where 
there was the most children. In the remembrance of some 
of the town's aged citizens the above forms were carried on. 
Schools were kept in the houses, and, at one time, in an old 
loft in what was then the upper apartment of Joshua Walk- 
er's store. 

The first school building erected in town was on the In- 
dian River road, near the site of Obed Lamson's residence. 
This house was afterwards used for storage purposes. The 
second building for school purposes stood at Sawyer's Cove, 



34 HISTORICAL. 

near the site of James Bryant's home. This was built by 
the town and district. The town gave $100 for its erection, 
providing that it should be used for town meetings. The 
Union Vestry at West Jonesport was the third school build- 
ing erected in town. This was done in 1848 by Abraham 
McKenzie, who received $400 for his work. 

The scholars in these schools had books, such as they 
were, if they were able to purchase them. Hon. D. J. Saw- 
yer informs the writer that at one time, when on the school 
committee, he visited one of the island schools, and there 
found a pupil with only a farmer's almanac from which to 
study. Thanks to the present "Free Book System," the 
pupil, rich or poor, is supplied alike. Our town was one of 
the first in this section of Maine to adopt this much needed 
system. Great credit is due to the persistent labors of Mrs. 
D. J. Sawyer, who was largely instrumental in bringing this 
about. The sad death of this beloved woman and friend, 
which occurred on July 2d, 1902, took away the town's most 
ardent educational promoter. Mention should also be made 
of her husband, Hon. D. J. Sawyer, who has worked unceas- 
ingly in the interests of the schools in town. 

From this small beginning our town has its present 
schools, and justly proud and thankful ought she to be for 
the marked advancement that has been made. Not many 
towns of her size can boast of a better regulated system, or 
more tasty school buildings. A good idea of their present 
condition may be gathered from the following: 

The town of Jonesport is divided into ten school dis- 
tricts, with a total of 16 common schools of lower grade, 



HISTORICAL. 35. 

and one hi^h school. The number of scholers in town draw- 
ing school money is 906. Each of these schools are graded, 
thanks to the earnest and successful labors of the town's 
present superintendent, Mrs. B. B. Mansfield, supported in 
every move by the committee, W. L. Noyes, Rev. T. B. Hatt 
and Dr. H. A. Mansfield. For these schools competent in- 
structors are secured. Within the last two years many im- 
provements have been made on the school buildings. Most 
of them are now supplied with a school bell and flag. 

Two modern Grammar school buildings, the Lincoln, at 
West Jonesport, and the Washington at the Lower Village, 
have been lately erected at a cost of about $10,000. The 
town is to erect during the summer a one-story school 
house at Head Harbor, and a two story structure at Alley's 
Bay. 

Prior to 1894 there was no free High School in town. 
For a long time the citizens had felt the need of such an 
institution, for their children who wished to go to college 
were compelled to leave the town to fit themselves for en- 
trance. It was in the spring of 1893 that the first potent 
move was made to establish such an advanced school of 
learning. At that annual town meeting an article was put 
in the warrant asking that a Free High School be estab- 
lished, and that the town, in conjunction with the Masonic 
Lodge, erect a bui'ldiug for its use. Each was to pay one- 
half of the cost of construction. The town was to occupy 
the first floor, and furnish it at her own expense, and the 
Masons were to use the upper apartment, which they should 
furnish. This article was accepted, and $1,500 was appro- 



36 HISTORICAL. 

priated for the erection of the building. 

In the fall of 1894, the building having been completed, 
the first term of High School opened, with Mr. Horsman, 
a graduate of Bowdoin College, at its head. The next year 
Harry Wilbur, of the same college, assumed the principal- 
ship, and remained with this institution several years. The 
first graduation occurred in the spring of 1896, when eight 
students received diplomas. Then in one year the school 
had three teachers, Clarence Parks, Lincoln Roys and Harry 
Wilbur. The next principal was J. D. Murphy, a graduate 
of Williams College. Mr. Murphy was the first to have an 
assistant in the school, Miss Annie S. Morrison, a graduate 
of Smith College, occupying that position. In 1904 the 
present principal, Henry G. Clement of Gorham, Maine, a 
graduate of Bowdoin College, assumed charge of this school. 
His assistant is Miss Betsey A. Nickels of Cherryfield, a 
Colby College graduate. Both of these instructors have 
proved themselves efficient in their positions. The school 
has an attendance of about fifty students. College Prepara- 
tory and English courses are instituted in the school, from 
which a student is granted a diploma, having finished the 
course of study with a rank of 75 or more, on a scale of 
100. 

This institution, although in its infancy, gives promise 
of a very useful career. The town is doing everything possi- 
ble to make it one of the best of its class. 



HISTOEICAL. 37 



INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT 

The town of Jonesport, owing to its situation, has 
alwajs been interested in fishing, manufacturing and ship- 
ping industries. For the first few years, lumbering and fish- 
ing were the principal branches of industry, but later, ship- 
building and manufacturing came to the front. These indus- 
tries alone have made the town one of Maine's busy seaports 
of today. 

The early settlers in this section of Maine, found the land 
covered with dense forests of spruce and pine, toward the 
manufacture of which their minds naturally turned. At an 
early date saw mills were built in various sections ot the 
town, at Indian River, Hay Creek, Roque Island and Real's 
Island. The mill at Indian River was the largest in these 
parts, and was in operation for many years. John Shorey 
operated the one on Roque Island; the Reales ran the mill 
on Real's Island, at Mill Creek; and Clement Hopkins and 
Elias Hinkley owned the plant at Hay Creek. These, and a 
few others, comprised the town's manufacturing industries 
at an early date. 

The lumber then manufactured was shipped in vessels 
to Massachusetts and other markets, which created a 
demand for vessels. These must be built. In this way, the 
natural course of events brought about extensive ship-build- 
ing yards and firms in Jonesport. 

The first craft of any size to be constructed here, was 



38 HISTORICAL. 

built on Roque Island, by John Shorey. This vessel was a 
bark, and was owned by a Portland firm. 

Reuben Lamson built the next two vessels on Spruce 
Island. The first one, on which Jeremiah Drisko was master 
workman, was named the Alexander Milliken; the second, 
the R. and S. Lamson, had as its master builder, A. L. Nor- 
ton. 

Edward A. Mansfield constructed two vessels in his yard 
at the Lower Village. Their names were: Northern Light 
and Melissa Anne. 

The most extensive ship-builder and owner in town, was 
the Hon. D. J. Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer built his first two ves- 
sels in the Mansfield yard, but, later, began operations in 
his own yard. Here many vessels were constructed. The 
last craft was completed in 1890, and was a three-masted 
vessel, the largest ever built in these parts. 

Another ship-builder was Eldridge Watts, who con- 
structed two vessels. The first, the Stephen J. Watts, was 
built in 1871, in Mansfield's ship yard; the other, the Ada 
Barker, was constructed a little later at Cross Cove. 

From the very first, the people of Jonesport have 
obtained their livelihood from the sea. A large proportion 
of the town's men are either engaged in fishing industries, or 
are following the sea in coasting vessels. This town can 
proudly boast of as many skilled craftsmen, if not more, 
than any other place of its size along the coast. The num- 
ber of fishermen engaged in the catching of lobsters and her- 
ring exceeds two hundred. Over fifty weirs are in use for 
catching the latter. The sardine canning factories erected 



HISTOEICAL. 39 

in town, have brought the herring industry to the front dur- 
ing recent years. 

In 1881, George Capen, of Eastport, erected the sardine 
plant, known as the Middle factory, and of late secured by 
the Sea Coast Canning Company. Four years later, Mr. 
Capen sold out to Wolfe and Reesing of New York. The next 
owner was the Jonesport Packing Company, of which Fred 
M. Smith, George W. Smith and Newell Rumery were mem- 
bers. From this company the present owners bought the 
plant in 1895, and operated it for one year. This factory is 
not in operation at the present time. 

About the same time that Capen erected his plant, Jud- 
son Young and Judson Stimpson, of Eastport, came here 
and built a similar factory on Old House Point, near the 
site of Charles Mansfield's fishing stand. The next year, 
1882, Young sold out to his brother, James. Mr. Parker, 
of Eastport, finally bought out the share owned by James 
Young, and the firm then assumed the name of Stimpson & 
Parker. This sardine factory was in operation a few years, 
but was finally destroyed by fire. 

William Underwood Company, manufacturers of canned 
goods, have a large plant situated at West Jonesport. The 
present factory may be termed the outgrowth of the fishing 
plant established in 1859 on the same site, by Rumery & 
Burnham of Portland. These two men went into the lob- 
ster business, their buildings consisting of two wooden 
factories, one store and a boarding house. 

In 1866 the firm of William Underwood and Company 
bought the plant and handled lobsters and clams, the" for- 



40 HISTOKICAL. 

raer iu summer, the latter in winter. Three years later, 1869, 
this factory was totally destroyed by fire, and the firm im- 
mediately be^an to rebuild, under the supervision of its 
general manager, George W. Smith. The buildings of this 
second factory are now used as a tenement house and stor- 
age building. It was erected for the purpose of handling 
sardines, and this firm was the first to enter into this busi- 
ness west of Eastport. This second plant, when in opera- 
tion, employed about 150 hands. In 1895, at the death of 
W. J. Underwood, the company was changed to the present 
corporation. 

In 1899 the present firm, whose members are the Under- 
wood brothers, H. 0., W. L. and Loring of Belmont, Mas- 
sachusetts, began the erection of the present sardine plant, 
which may be termed the most modern structure of this 
kind in the world. This factory was completed in 1900, 
under the supervision of of its superintendent, Mr. Charles 
Hinkley. That same fall this concern began the packing of 
clams. It is useless to try to describe in detail this modern 
structure in the space allowed. The Underwood corpora- 
tion surely spared no expense to give the town of Jonesport 
a manufacturing plant of which she may justly be proud. 
The foundation alone of this brick structure required 4,100 
tons of split stone, and 1,000 barrels of cement and lime. 
The building is constructed of brick, and is two stories in 
height. The inside of the same is plastered with the best 
German cement, which is coated with magnite, making a 
very smooth and white surface. This factory is equipped 
with all of the latest, modern, improved machinery for 



HISTOEICAL. 41 

its operation. The basement contains a resevoir with a 
capacity of 40,000 gallons of water for steaming purposes. 
This is the only factory in the world that is equipped with a 
fish cutting machine, the invention of one of the town's citi- 
zens, Arthur R. Rogers. The firm's buildings are lighted by 
electricity from their own electric plant. This factory is de- 
voted especially to the canning of clams and sardines. The 
capacity of the plant is about 1,000 cases per day, and ap- 
proximately 250 hands are employed. The local manage- 
ment is under the supervision of Mr. Charles Hinkley, as- 
sisted by his brothers, Edgar E and Lewis W. Hinkley. This 
Underwood corporation has a large, modern sardine plant 
under construction at Bass Harbor. 

The Sea Coast Canning Company of New York is another 
firm operating a large sardine manufacturing plant at 
Jonesport. This business was established some five years 
since, by Messrs G. F & I. J. Mansfield, who successfully car- 
ried on this business till 1904, when the factory was leased 
to the above syndicate for a period of four years. The pres- 
ent officers are George F. Mansfield, President; W. F. Mans- 
field, Treasurer and Clerk; and D. C. Mitchell, General Man- 
ager. 

This plant comprises a two and one-hali story factory 
building, 127x35, a power house, a convenient office build- 
ing and wharf. These buildings are lighted by electricity 
from the company's electric plant, and the entire plant is 
equipped with modern machinery for its operation. Later 
additions are the engine room, 25x35; dry house, 28x50 
and bath room 17x18. An addition of 40x100 has been 



42 HISTORICAL. 

lately built on the wharf. An 125 horse power boiler, and 
50 horse power engine are in use. About 350 tons of coal 
are consumed annually. This factory is devoted entirely to 
the handling of sardines, of which the plant's capacity is 
about 700 cases per day. This furnishes employment to ap- 
proximately 200 hands. 

This concern also operates a pickling and smoked fish 
plant, situated near that of the packing company. This 
business was first established some eight years ago. The 
buildings consist of two twelve bay smoke houses, with a 
capacity of 25,000 boxes; a two story pickling building, 
28x75, with a capacity of 100 hogsheads; together with a 
boxing shed, 20x30, in which the packing cases are put to- 
gether. Falmer Lakeman is foreman of this apartment. 

The Sea Coast Company and Mr. Geo. F. Mansfield have 
lately secured the fish stands on French House Island, which 
were formerly the property of H. E. Beal. The capacity of 
this plant is about 70,000 boxes. The herring are taken 
from these smoke houses, carried to Eastport, and there 
sealed in tin cans, the size of a quarter oil can. This stamp 
of goods have an excellent market. D. W. Lakeman is fore- 
man. 

The following persons are operators of fishing plants in 
town: 

D. S. Andrews and E. B. Sawyer own and operate a 
pickled and smoked fish plant on Head Harbor Island. 
They began this business at this place in 1901, and have 
enlarged their buildings at different times. The plant com- 
prises one main building, two and a half stories high, 35x70; 



HISTOEICAL. 43 

a pickling house, 25x35, and three large smoke houses. The 
capacity of the smoked buildings is about 125,000 boxes 
annually, and that of the pickled apartment 80 hogsheads 
at one time. 

K. B. Stevens carries on a picked and smoked fish plant 
at Cross Cove. The buildings comprise a two story modern 
structure, formerly used by the firm of Stevens and Drisko 
for the packing of sardines, and a twenty-two bay smoke 
house. The capacity of the plant is about 70,000 boxes 
annually. 

Charles H. Mansfield is one of the town's fish packers, 
and has a smoked fish and pickled plant on Old House Point, 
This business was started by him some eight years ago. The 
buildings consist of two large, modern smoke houses, and 
two buildings for tanks. The capacity of the former is 
about 60,000 boxes. Mr. Mansfield has lately erected a 
large fish stand near his other buildings. 

Otis B. Faulkingham, now owns and operates a pick- 
led and smoked fish plant, situated near his residence at 
West Jonesport. This business, which was established by 
Mr. Seth Nickerson was secured some four years since by Mr. 
Faulkingham, The buildings comprise a smoked fish house 
and salt building. The capacity of this plant is about 20,- 
000 boxes. 

Charles L. Donovan, another fish packer in town opera- 
tes a pickled and smoked fish plant on Hall's Island. The 
buildings comprise three fish houses and one dwelling house. 
The capacity of the smoked fish buildings is about 50,000 
boxes, annually. 



44 mSTOBICAL. 

Sidney E. Doyle is one of the town's enterprising fish 
dealers. Mr. Doyle came to this town in the fall of 1904, 
from Corea, Maine, where for many years he had been en- 
gaged in the handling of fish. On April 12, 1905, he occu- 
pied his present fish stand, built by Charles Mansfield on Old 
House Point. This plant will handle salt and pickled fish 
of various kinds. The buildings comprise a two-story 
house, 100 X 30, with sheds. The capacity is about 400 
hogsheads of fish and 500 hogsheads of salt. Connected 
with this building is a wharf privilege of 3500 square feet. 

John A. Beal, owns and operates a large smoked and 
pickled fish plant, located on Deal's Island. The plant com- 
prises two modern smoke houses with a capacity of 60,000 
boxes, with a salt pickling building, within which from 500 
to 1000 barrels are thus prepared for market annually. 

Charles H. Beal carries on an extensive fish business in 
his plant, situated on Deal's Island. The business consists 
of handling salt fish and pickled herring. Mr. Deal handles 
about $10,000 worth of the former, and |5000 of the later 
each year when the plant is operated to its full capacity. 
The valuation of the property is about |1500. 

J. F. Beal is another one of the town's fish packers liv- 
ing on Deal's Island. His pickled and smoked fish plant is 
situated on the island near his residence. The buildings 
consist of a smoked fish house, salt house, stringing shed 
and boxing building. About 28,000 boxes of herring are 
annually prepared. 

Joseph A. Deal owns and operates a smoked fish plant 
on Calf Island. This business was begun some three years 



HISTORICAL. 45 

since at this place by Mr. Beal. The valuation of the prop- 
erty is about 1700. Approximately 12,000 boxes of herring 
are prepared each year. 

Warren E. Beal, J. M. Wallace and Levi Wallace, known 
as the Beal & Wallace Fish Company, have a large smoked 
fish plant on the northeast part of Great Wass Island. This 
is a modern plant and is valued at about $1,000. It was 
built some five years ago, and about 20,000 boxes of her- 
ring are annually prepared. 

Thomas W. and N. N. Beal have a smoked fish factory, 
situated at West Jonesport. The valuation of this property 
is about |500, and about 10,000 boxes is its annual capac- 
ity. 

GRANITE QUARRIES 

Within the limits of the town of Jonesport are three 
granite quarrying concerns. These are the New England 
Granite Company, Metropolitan Granite Company, and 
Rockport Granite Company. 

The New England Granite Company, situated on Head 
Harbor Island, is the outgrowth of the operations begun in 
1891, by the Cape Ann Granite Company, who secured the 
quarry from L. K. Wass and D. S. Andrews. The first oper- 
ators erected sheds and a boarding house, and equipped the 
plant with modern machinery. For a few years, this concern 
carried on quite an extensive business. In June, 1903, this 
plant was sold to the above syndicate. D. S. Andrews acts 
as its general manager. 

The Metropolitan Granite Company, operates a stone 



46 HISTOEICAL. 

quarry, situated on Head Harbor Island. This plant was 
sold to this firm in 1902, by Oris Vose of Machias, who had 
secured this site in 1891, of Jackson Alley. This granite 
concern is carrying on quite an extensive stone business, and 
at the present time, have a large contract for an armory in 
Pennsylvania. Approximately, fifty hands are employed. 
Frank Wallace is general manager. 

The Rockport Granite Company is situated on Hard 
Wood Island and is owned by Boston and Gloucester par- 
ties. This quarry was owned by the Cape Ann Granite Com- 
pany, which sold to the above parties in 1884. Charles A. 
Rogers, of Rockport, Massachusetts, is its general manager. 
This quarry is operated only during the summer months. 



FACTS OF INTEREST 

THE PALESTINE COLONY. 

The story of the Palestine Emigration Colony is ever 
interesting to the Jonesport reader because of the thirty-six 
men and women from this town, who made that memorable 
visit. Space will permit us to give but a brief account of 
this event. 

Elder J. D. Adams of Pennsylvania had for a number of 
years entertained the idea of establishing a Church of the 
Messiah at Palestine, hoping thus to bring about the resto- 



HISTORICAL. 47 

ration to Christendom of the Holy Land. After two years 
of work, he formed what was known as the Palestine Emi- 
g;ration Colony. With one hundred and fifty-six persons, 
Mr. Adams made all preparations to settle a colony in the 
Chosen Land. 

It was on the 11th of August, 1866, that the bark, Nellie 
Chapeu, left the steamboat wharf at West Jonesport, bear- 
ing Mr. Adams and his Colony, and bound for Palestine, the 
Land of Promise. The voyage to that country was made in 
forty-two days, without any unpleasant or remarkable hap- 
penings, and at last, all hands were landed safely on the 
shore near the city of Jaffa. 

The colony succeeded in obtaining a beautiful location 
for their future habitation, surrounded by a grove of 
oranges. They proceeded to erect tents, unload their ships, 
and raft their lumber ashore. To obtain good drinking 
water they solicited the aid of the American Consul. Within 
a few days after landing, some members of the Colony were 
taken sick and died. An investigation proved that the 
natives were bringing them water from anywhere they could 
get it, when the colony had made provision lor getting their 
supply from the city fountain. The members immediately 
hired an interpreter, whom they retained for his valuable 
services. 

When the lumber was safely landed on the site of their 
prospective village, the colony had no one to act as leader in 
constructing the buildings ; for their contractor and builder 
was one who had died from drinking the poisonous water. 
Not discouraged, however, the men went ahead and the 



48 HISTORICAL. 

houses were rapidly and decently constructed. The build- 
ings were made two-story with fiat roots, except one, the 
Drisko's, which was three story and designed for a hotel. A 
church was erected as soon as their homes were built. The 
next step taken was the opening of a school for their child- 
ren. 

That a vegetable supply might be laid in store, the col- 
ony then turned their attention toward the tilling of the 
soil. They planted their garden lots near their buildings, 
and their wheat patch, which lay two miles distant. The 
latter crop was almost a failure; for the Arabs, who would 
steal everything they could get, cut the crop when half 
grown and brought it to market where they sold it for the 
horses. Thereafter one of the colony was stationed on sent- 
inel duty at this spot during the day. There was no dan- 
ger from them at night, for their superstitious beliefs, made 
them too cowardly to venture out of doors at that time. 

Thus this Colony started their settlement with but 
petty annoying hinderances and might have been a success, 
but for the lack of confidence that its members were soon 
forced to hold towards their leader, Mr. Adams. It appears 
that he imbibed too freely of the intoxicating cup, which 
was always offered one when making a visit. In fact it was 
a sign that your presence was not wanted if this was not 
done. The colony after remaining one year in their cosy 
settlement, decided to disband. During these months a few 
had died, and four children were born. Mr. Alton Eogers, a 
citizen of Jonesport, was one of this number who has the 
distinction of having been born in the Holy Land. 



HISTOEICAL. 49 

When the colony disbanded, some of their number came 
directly home, while others remained and passed several 
months in visiting places throughout the Holy Land. 
Then, to, on their way home some visited the World's Fair 
at Paris, France. The last of the colony except a few who 
never returned, reached home about fourteen months after 
their departure. 

As a whole this colony may not be termed a failure ; for 
its endeavors have proved the starting forth of other simi- 
lar expeditions, w^ho have made a success of their efforts. 
We feel safe in saying that very few persons who made this 
voyage and reached home safely, with their relatives, have 
regretted their experience. 

PUBLIC LIBRARY 

Read good books first, for you will not get a chance to 
read them all, is the motto of this institution, wherever it is 
found. It was with this thought in mind, that the people of 
Jonesport met on Sept. 9, 1893, in the Congregational ves- 
try, for the pnrpose of establishing such an institution. At 
this first meeting, a committee of five was chosen to solicit 
members at a fee of one dollar, payable annually. Five days 
later, Sept. 14, the society metand elected the following offi- 
cers: Rev. E. S. Ireland, president; Mrs. Geo. F. Mansfield, 
vice-president; Miss Lena Rumer^-, secretary; and Mrs. E. 
R. Peasley, treasurer. At this meeting, 99 members were 
reported. At the next meeting, Miss Rumery resigned as 
secretary and Mrs. E. B. Sawyer was chosen to fill the 



50 HISTORICAL. 

vacancy, which position Mrs. Sawyer has held ever since. 
At the end of this year (1893) the society had 118 members. 
They had expended $103.03 for furnishing a library hall; 
151.74 for papers and periodicals; and |127.80 for books. 
The librarian that year was Fred Smith. 

In the intervening years, from 1894 to 1900, this insti- 
tution made a marked advancement. Contributions of 
books and money were received. In 1894, 100 valuable vol- 
umes were received, as a gift from Joseph Smith, of Andover, 
Massachusetts; Capt. Goldthwait, of Biddeford Pool; and 
Mrs. Coburn, of Boston. In 1895, the society began to con- 
sider the question of a library building, and a gift of |50 
was made by Colonel Oliver Peabody, of Boston, for this 
same purpose. In 1897, the town voted the library |50, 
and this same year, Geo. A. Gardner gave the society a sub- 
scription of $200. A gift of 25 books was also received from 
Mrs. Oliver Peabody, and $25 from Lyman Underwood of 
Belmont, Massachusetts. 

In 1900, Dec. 20, the society voted, that the Library 
Association make the town a gift of the books and maga- 
zines belonging to the Association, the same to be made a 
Free Public Library and a certain sum appropriated annu- 
ally for its support. A committee of four were chosen to 
visit the selectmen and consult them on the matter. At a 
special town meeting held at the Jonesport Opera House, 
the town accepted the Association's offer, rendering 
the institution a free public library. This movement was 
made by its members, that the library might receive aid from 
both town and State. 



HISTORICAL. 51 

From 1900 to the present time, the public library has 
been under the supervision of a board of trustees, appointed 
by the town. A neat and commodious building is rented for 
its use. At the present time, the librar3' has 1,007 well- 
selected volumes. Mrs. D. D. Kelley is librarian. This insti- 
tution is still aided by the former association, which, in 
1903, was formed into the Jonesport Library and Reading 
Association. It is, in the near future, to erect a new library 
building, and has already secured a goodly sum ior that 
purpose. 

VILLAGE IMPROVENT SOCIETIES 

The three Improvement Societies formed in Jonesport 
Lower Village, West Jonesport and Kelley's District, have 
done much towards establishing certain needed improve- 
ments. 

The Lower Village Society was organized in 1883, as the 
Young Ladies' Bell Society. Its object was to purchase a 
bell for the present Primary and Intermediate school houses 
in District No. 3. This was done at an approximate cost of 
f 150. From the bell, the society turned its attention to a 
town clock, which was placed in the Congregational church, 
at a cost of about f 325. This was done by this society 
soliciting subscriptions. Next, this organization turned its 
attention towards sidewalks, with the result which is appre- 
ciated by every pedestrian in this village. Approximately, 
$900 has been expended in this work. 

The Bell Society oi West Jonesport, was organized about 
the same time as the one at the Lower Village, and for the 
same purpose, the bell secured costing $124. The society 



52 HISTORICAL. 

next made extended repairs on the village vestry. This 
organization was followed by a Cemetery society, which 
built the fence around the burial grounds, and made further 
improvements. This finally developed in a sidewalk society. 
Between eight and nine hundred dollars have been expended 
for this purpose. At the present time this organization is 
building a sidewalk around what is called the "square" at 
West Jonesport. 

At an early date, the ladies in what is known as the Kel- 
ley District, organized a society for the purpose of building 
sidewalks, and erecting a hall for social gatherings. The 
result of their labor is the present neat and tidy two-story 
building and the wooden sidewalks in the hamlet. 

W. C. T. U. 

The Woman'' s Christian Temperance Union of Jonesport, 
was organized in the town of Jonesport, in 1890. From its 
beginning, this society has met at the homes of its members, 
who at the present time number 30, with 6 honorary. The 
The present officers are: President, Mrs. E. R. Peasley; vice- 
president, Mrs. Rose S. Cummings; secretary, Mrs. F. V, 
Sawyer; treasurer, Mrs. Lucy A. Sawyer. This organization 
has always been recognized as a power for good in the com- 
munity, and has done much to advance the cause of temper- 
ance. The first sheriff, Mr. A. W. Peterson, was appointed 
through its efforts. This society has also done much to 
clothe and feed any who were in a destitute condition.

Census-1903 



The population ol the Town of Jonesport has been 
arranged in families where that arrangement has been 
possible. In these families, in addition to the resident 
living members, the names of the non-resident members 
are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan 
does not include the names of all former residents of this 
town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when 
one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After 
the name of each non-resident will be found the present 
address, when such address has been given to us. Non-resi- 
dents are indicated by the (*). 

When a daughter in a family has married, her name 
taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- 
sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). 

Following the names of the population is the occupations. 
To designate these we have used the more common abbre- 
viations and contractions, as ioUows: Farmer — far; car- 
penter—car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member 
of an advanced institution of learning— stu; pupil, a member 
of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached 
the age of five years)— pi; housework — ho; laborer— lab;
